NCT ID NCT03865212
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tested a specially modified virus (VSV-IFNb-TYRP1) in 12 people with advanced melanoma that had spread or couldn't be removed. The virus was injected directly into tumors and also into a vein, aiming to kill cancer cells and trigger the immune system. The main goals were to find the safest dose and understand side effects. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
